Aims & Scope

Athena is a diamond open access, double-blind peer review scholarly journal that analyzes Globalization's problems and global concerns from legal, philosophical, historical, political, and social perspectives, aiming to provide theoretical answers to these challenges. The Journal functions as an interdisciplinary laboratory that welcomes contributions from philosophy of law, political thought, cultural anthropology, international law, political philosophy, ethics, moral and theoretical philosophy, philosophy of technology, history and legal history. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the journal endeavors to provide theoretical answers to the complex issues of contemporary global reality, developing widely shared perspectives and formulations that address these challenges. Athena aims to critically examine contemporary challenges: the crisis of the nation-state, the encounter between different civilizations, migration flows, human rights, global constitutionalism, global justice, multiculturalism, new identities, technological acceleration, business and human rights, and the emergence of new forms of power and regulation. Athena seeks to move beyond traditional Western dogmatism by recognizing the particularities and relationships with other cultures, without claiming positions of superiority.
